I am counting down the days until summer, and nothing says summer like a DIY Lemonade Stand. I like to pretend that I’m this handy person, but in reality, anything that requires tools intimidates me. Luckily, this lemonade stand *doesn’t* require tools! And, of course, you need some yummy lemonade to serve at your beautiful lemonade stand, so I’m sharing a recipe for my favorite — Watermelon Lemonade!

I headed to Walmart to pick up some Country Time Old Fashioned Lemonade for my recipe. I’ve been drinking this stuff since childhood and it’s definitely a summer staple for me.

I couldn’t resist trying out the Pink Lemonade and Strawberry Lemonade varieties, too.

First up, let’s make the Watermelon Lemonade recipe.

Watermelon Lemonade Recipe

Prepare 10 cups of lemonade according to package directions. Set aside.

Cut the watermelon into pieces — you’ll use some for garnish, but most of it will be used to create watermelon juice. Add some pieces (without seeds or rind) in a blender and blend until smooth. Pour through a strainer. Repeat until you’ve got 6 cups of watermelon juice.

Pour the watermelon juice into the lemonade and mix well. Add lemon slices and pieces of watermelon for garnish. Chill for at least four hours.

Now, let’s make the lemonade stand to serve this yummy lemonade. Let’s get started!
